Florida, Speaks at Detroit

New YORK, March 17.-St. Patrick $
Day was generally observed by the sons oi
Ireland in this city. On the municipal
departments and many of the city build
ings the green flag was thrown to the
breeze. The Irish societies paraded in two
distinct bodies, one crossing to Brooklyn
and joining the Brooklyn procession. The
other, after a parade through the principal
street, was reviewed in Union Square by
Mayor Hewitt. The procession then march
ed to Jones Woods to take part in the
annual picnic. The picnic of the Irish So
cieties at Jones' Woods was of mammoth
proportions. The meeting was called to
order by Police Magistrate p. G. Duffy.
After few remarks by Judge Gildersleeve
REV. FATHER M'GLYNN
was introduced. He was received with
tremendous applause, which lasted several
minutes. Father McGlynn looked well,
except for slight paleness. When he
could make himself heard, he said that it
was holy and wholesome thought to ven
crate long after their departure, the MEM
ory of the sainted. 1t impelled them to
pause amid the hum-drum of their work
day life, to contemplate their best ideals.
They were most of them the children in
direct descent of those whom st. Patrick
went with the message of blessing and who
gathered around him TO drink in eagerly
the holy medicine that he was sent to give.
After review of the work of the apostle
in Ireland, he told the story of Ireland's
sufferings, of her children driven from
home, sacrificing everything for liberty.

AnefanIting Director.

NEW YORK, March l7.-Sherif Grant
has seized the place of business of Walter
E. Lawton, at No. 81 Broadway, who did
business under the firm name of LAwton
Bros. as fertilizers, under attachment from
Judge Donahue, of the Supreme Court, on
creditors claims amounting to $245, 600. 1t
is charged that Lawton has absconded to
defraud his creditors, that he has disposed
of his property and taken large amount of
money with him. LawtOn was director
in the Delta, a satin company, and was
entrusted with 500, 900 in notes to dis
count for the company. On March Is,
Lawton is said 70 have abSconded with the
proceeds of the discounted notes
His associates look upon his disappear
anee as part of gigantic swindle, and be
lieye that he sailed on one of Wednesdays
steamers. He has relatives in Sussex,
England, and it is supposed that he has
gone there After draining out all his
bank accounts, he got a boy to help re-
move four or five valises which he tightly
filled. His credit was high, and he was
rated at over 81, 600, 600 by the commercial
agencies.

IT DON'T PAY.
The National Opera Company in Trouble
With Its Singers.

The National Opera Company In Trouble
With It's Singers.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Tribune
this morning says: The condition of the
National Opera Company causes consider
able anxiety to the friends of the enter
prise. Large arrears of salary are due to
some OF the singers, which the company
are unable to pay. Six thousand dollars
have been due to William COndidrus for
some time Mr.. Locke has referred
him to Mrs. Thurber for the satisfaction
of his claim, and Mrs Thurber has
refesred him back again to Mr.. Locke.
Yesterday matters nearly reached a crisis.
Miss Emma Juch and Mise Pauline l..
AllemanS both have claims though not so
large as that of Mr.. Condidrus. When the
company was playing in Brooklyn these
three called on Mrs. Thurber and received
q part of their salary. Since that time
their salaries have been paid, but there is
still balance of Arrears. Of these artists
Theodore Thomas appears to have guard
ed the interests of the members
Gf the orchestra. He has
made the management understand
that the musicians must be paid every
Monday or he will resign the baton OF
leader. Hence the orchestra has prob
ably Jared better than the singers. 4
